OK, so apparently Bo Pelini is an interesting mood this morning as the Huskers get set for a walk through in Lincoln and then the charter flight to Columbia.
Pelini's Twitter page was updated about an hour ago with this message: "Got the flu so I am gonna sit this one out along with a bunch of other guys!!!!!"
You can bet Pelini won't sit out of anything. From the tone of his his first tweet in more than three weeks, it's obvious Bo is making light of the rumors that his team has been infected by a flu bug this week.
I-back Roy Helu missed practice Tuesday while feeling sick. Pelini said after practice that Helu could have made it through but had to sit out because of an academic conflict.
I'm trying hard not to read anything more into Pelini's tweet. Does he want to divert attention from the flu talk by making it something of a joke? Maybe they really are all sick. Probably not. Who knows?
We'll hear not a word from the Huskers until the game Thursday night, so you're free to speculate about the health of the coach and his team.
